A photograph of a doorway inside a small shrine-like room with a painted cloth canopy above. A man with long dark swept-back hair, a small red mark on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and an orange robe stands at the centre, speaking and gesturing with one hand. Beside him a second man in orange with a rudraksha mala holds a small white object. On the left an older woman in a pink sari and gold earrings holds her palms together in namaskar. A glass display cabinet on the right holds trophies, small framed photographs and a small brass figure. Probable Swamiji's appearance matches the long hair, orange robe and rudraksha mala cues.
